Cultivation: I have an inventory

After Xiao Changqing broke through and became a first-level talisman master, the news could not be concealed after it was announced in the Lingfu Pavilion.

In just four years, he went from being a casual cultivator in the shantytown, abandoned by his Taoist partner, to becoming a sixth-level cultivator of Qi Refining, and even promoted to a first-level talisman master!

Xiao Changqing is now definitely an upper-level cultivator in Nanshanfang, and has a bright future. His talent is second only to Lu Qiu, a second-level talisman master a few years ago!

This time, it is no longer just Hong Jiantao, Jiang Jiyue, Mu Chunfeng and others who know the inside story who realize Xiao Changqing's talent.

Instead, the people in the entire Nanshanfang who are concerned about this matter all think that Xiao Changqing has a great hope of being promoted to a second-level talisman master in the future!

In this way, Xiao Changqing naturally became a hot commodity, and the foundation-building family also intended to build a good relationship with Xiao Changqing and forge a bond.

Unfortunately, Xiao Changqing is now a first-level talisman master and a sixth-level cultivator of Qi Refining. His status in Nanshanfang is already high enough, and it is no longer easy to impress him.

Adding icing on the cake is far less than sending charcoal in the snow.

For a while, there were even many versions of stories about Xiao Changqing circulating in the market, which made many casual cultivators who were still struggling at the bottom talk about it with relish and take it as a role model.

From casual cultivators in shantytowns to guests of honor of major foundation-building families, it is said that there are foundation-building cultivators who personally come to contact and want to win over. How glorious is this?

It is simply a treatment that many casual cultivators dare not imagine in their dreams!

At the same time, the more people envy Xiao Changqing for being adopted, the more people will mock and curse Zhou Yun'e, who abandoned Xiao Changqing.

Abandoning a talent of the way of talismans who has greater growth potential than foundation-building cultivators in the future, and choosing a mediocre local cultivator with no special skills, the reason is just two shops with a monthly rent of 20 to 30 spirit stones... Nanshanfang has never seen such a big joke.

"Xiao Changqing! Xiao Changqing!" Zhou Yun'e's usually cold and arrogant personality completely broke down after hearing all kinds of rumors in the market.

Even though she kept telling herself not to think too much, to grasp the current choice, and to make no regrets. But the regret and jealousy in her heart still swallowed her.

She left Xiao Changqing four years ago, not on a whim, but had had the idea long before.

But the world of immortal cultivation is not like the mortal world. Beautiful fairies are not rare, and they pay more attention to resources and practical interests. Even if Zhou Yun'e is outstanding in beauty, it is not easy to get a powerful cultivator on the list, just like Lin Ziyu before.

Zhou Yun'e has been looking for a suitable one for several years, and finally met Hu Youquan who fell in love with her at first sight, and she finally found her next home.

What a pity.

Hu Youquan, who used to be a very good next home in her eyes, was enough for her to gain a foothold in Nanshanfang and live the life she dreamed of before. Now, compared with Xiao Changqing, he is simply not as good as him.

"If you let me leave, you should have gone back to the mortal world! Why do you have to become stronger step by step?"

Zhou Yun'e felt extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Xiao Changqing become a celebrity in Nanshanfang step by step, it was even more uncomfortable than her own cultivation level regressing!

Of course.

In the past two years, Zhou Yun'e's cultivation level has not regressed, but has also improved. Now she has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and is a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

This is also thanks to Hu Youquan.

After being humiliated in the Mu family two years ago, Hu Youquan was persuaded by Zhou Yun'e to give up the plan to buy a third shop, and used all the spirit stones to improve his cultivation.

Then...

Hu Youquan's cultivation has not changed much, but Zhou Yun'e has made obvious progress.

"It's all your fault! I believed your lies and wanted to get rid of Xiao Changqing in cultivation. Now I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and I am still at the fourth level of Qi Refining? How can we compare?"

Hu Youquan was naturally indignant when he heard the news, and couldn't understand why a stinky outsider cultivator could change his fate against the will of heaven.

But he also realized the huge gap between the two, and he couldn't catch up.

So after recognizing the reality, he didn't want to compete with Xiao Changqing anymore, and didn't want to get back at him.

What he regrets now is that he shouldn't have listened to Zhou Yun'e's instigation two years ago and spent all the spirit stones.

If he had been frugal and bought the third shop earlier, he would have earned so much more now!

The past two years have been the time when the ‘housing prices’ in Nanshanfang have grown the most, and it is almost a rare good market in a century.

“It is impossible to catch up with Xiao Changqing in terms of cultivation and status. All I can do is earn more property…”

Hu Youquan looked at the prices of the caves and shops in Nanshanfang, which changed every once in a while, but he was seriously out of the market and could not eat meat, so he was very anxious.

He began to think about whether to take out a loan to ‘leverage’!

He had a hunch that the increase in Nanshanfang was far from the peak. Now he tried to buy two more shops and caves. Maybe in a few years or ten years, his assets could double!

“From today on, I have to be frugal!”

Hu Youquan said.

Zhou Yun’e was powerless to refute.

She knew that in addition to thinking that the ‘housing prices’ in Nanshanfang were promising, another important reason was that Hu Youquan did not want to spend too many spiritual stones on her, fearing that her cultivation would gradually surpass him.

But what could she do?

One wrong step leads to another.

…

…

Hearing the news that Xiao Changqing was promoted to the first-level talisman master, the elders of the Mu family secretly regretted it.

At the beginning, Mu Chunfeng recruited Xiao Changqing and established a friendship in advance. If he had not regretted it later and taken back the cave, then their Mu family would have made a fortune this time.

At a very low price, he won over a talented first-level talisman master with unlimited prospects, and there is a high probability that he will become a second-level talisman master in the future!

If I had known earlier, I should have listened to the eldest lady's judgment and made a firm investment.

They never thought that a basic talisman master who could only draw cleaning talismans in the early stage could exchange for talents and be promoted to the next level four years later.

It's too late to say anything now.

If you want to invest in Xiao Changqing again, even if you pay ten times the original price, it won't be as good as before. After all, the Mu family has done things too ugly. If you meet someone with a small mind, it will be considered an enemy. How can you invest again?

Of course, the Mu family is now in trouble both internally and externally. The situation is already extremely bad, and they can't take out too many resources to invest in talents.

The Mu family was inexplicably targeted by invisible dark forces, and the Cao family in Nanshanfang couldn't wait to add insult to injury and erode the Mu family's industry.

The Cao family has two foundation-building masters in one family, and they were originally the first family in Nanshanfang. Now that the Mu family's foundation-building Mu Renjie is injured and the situation is unknown, the Mu family can hardly resist.

Therefore, after hearing the news, the elders of the Mu family regretted it in their hearts, but they could only force themselves to be stubborn, thinking that he was just a first-level talisman master, not a second-level talisman master.

Cancel the investment, anyway, it will not help the current predicament of the Mu family.

…

…

"Let's set a small goal first. Within a year, the cultivation level will break through the seventh level of Qi Refining and unlock a new equipment column!"

"At the same time, improve the talisman skills and strive to draw a first-level top-grade talisman within a year!"

"By then, equipped with the Silver Moon Wolf Hair Brush and superimposed 'Talisman Master Minor Level +1', I should be promoted to a second-level talisman master, right?"

Xiao Changqing looked at the beloved pen given by Manager Hong, and his mood was excited and full of expectations.

Second-level talisman master!

In five years, he is expected to become a second-level talisman master with a higher status and more difficult to achieve than a foundation-building cultivator!

By then, he will not only gain a foothold in Nanshanfang, but also walk sideways in Nanshanfang without fear!
